my room is a mess

seriously. it is a crazy mess. it just exploded the other day and I haven’t had a chance or …

i suppose, i really do.

so basically I haven’t updated this thing in about 3 years. which is a long time. so I am going to “update” yall as to my whereabouts. so. I got this new job. it is taking a lot of my time. it rules. but I am in a different paradigm than I was when I was at the WB. basically I am totally engaged for 8 hours. I have to be much more accountable and I have to really justify my actions. th…

my eyes are dripping tiredness

however, I don’t feel very tired. I really don’t understand how it is that I am able to lead this weird dual life. my friend adam equated it to the original mods from the 50s and 60s. he said they used to have normal jobs(working 9-5) and look like business people - then after work they would transform into these fashion seeking scene people. right after my friend adam told me this he started s…

I am back. although i never left.

so i accidently broke my webserver. haha. well by accidently i mean i am in the process of moving all my important and not so important sites to my new webserver so in the process i broke it. it sucked. but now it is mostly back to normal. everything is pretty much the same except i am unable to officially do my photolog right now. but i still update the master “

when dinosaurs attack

so this day has been weird already and it is barely 9:30. first last night I got home from juggling club and was notified that my paypal account was terminated due to 3gscreensaver having porn on it. I actually don’t know if that was the reason they just sent me a terse email with this link. so I am…

wyrd

so I am reading beowulf (or is it this). it is interesting to read for fun what I once rejected reading for school. however it really brings me back to all the discussions we had about the text. sometimes literary critique is fun. other times i hate it.

i am going to get a new …

this is a long entry
heh. I wish I really was a darksider. I have had some really weird dreams the past couple days. first I had a dream I was in a bad place. the place was a bed and the other person in the bed didn’t want me there but I couldn’t leave - so I was attempting to stay on the edge of the bed the whole night. it was an incredibly strange dream - I imagine that a dream ana…

riot

reading about customer service is really funny for me. I love reading about the acts of gord and other fine websites that deal with funny customers and their reactions.. here is a great site about a clerk at a porn store here in chicago. an incredible read. i hate sk…

tivo oh my tivo.

soemthing happened that made me think.. “blog this!” but I don’t remember what it was. bummer. maybe I will remember. i got the tivo working. it is pretty fun. I have yet to get the wireless inet working for it. stupid /dev/wlan isn’t there. I don’t understand why. the driver just doesn’t do it. damned USB. I thought about going and buying a shittier one today at compusa. maybe I w…

Blue line…

The blue line is madness. in the past couple days crazy stuff has gone down. most of it is just crazies interacting with the normals. hehe. today this guy was ranting and raving and another guy tried to settle him down. so the reacted very negatively to that.. and told everyone on the train that he doesn’t “interact with homosexuals” and that he “has a spaceship and raygun from god.” He also cla…
